On the pod, @gtconway.bsky.social lays out accountability agenda if Dems win House:
*Impeach Trump and top officials
*Criminal referrals to DOJ
*25th Amendment commission
*Fix Impoundment Act
*Codify DOJ independence
There's much more here. It's a good discussion:

U.S. airports could face a new wave of long security lines as early as May after the nation's homeland security chief said on Tuesday that he will run out of money to pay for 50,000 workers due to a partial government shutdown.
While you’re paying for this Administration’s unauthorized war and watching your costs skyrocket, the Trump family is expanding its business empire and pocketing hundreds of millions of dollars.
Jared Kushner, Don Jr., and Eric. All cashing in on this presidency in real time.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Merck's once-daily, oral, combination regimen for HIV infections, the drugmaker said on Tuesday, giving patients another treatment option to manage the condition.
BREAKING: TACO TUESDAY: Donald trump delays ethnic cleansing and war crimes again by extending the ceasefire indefinitely.
It is almost like the Trump administration has no idea what it is doing, beyond enriching itself of course…

"Few approve of how Donald Trump is handling the cost of living" – Overall: 33-67 – Immigration: 40-59 – Iran: 32-67 – Economy: 30-70 – Cost of living: 23(!)-76 "The nationwide poll was conducted April 16-20, 2026 using the AmeriSpeak® Panel, the probability-based panel of NORC at the University of Chicago. Online and telephone interviews using landlines and cell phones were conducted with 2,596 adults. The overall margin of sampling error is +/- 3.4 percentage points."
There's no other way to say it: This AP-NORC poll is atrocious for Trump.
– Overall: 33-67
– Immigration: 40-59
– Iran: 32-67
– Economy: 30-70
– Cost of living: 23(!)-76
37% of Republicans disapprove of his handling of the economy, 47% disapprove on cost of living.

Congressional insider trading & dark money were already blights on our flailing democracy. Letting government
officials “bet” on policy outcomes or worse, warfare, is a recipe for disaster.
Thank you for standing up against prediction market corruption, Governor Pritzker
Seems like Trump’s only path. He walks away. Pretends he won. Tries to change the subject.
Seems like NYT should have mentioned that UAE's spymaster bought 49% of Trump's World Liberty Financial and used $2B of its USD1 stablecoin, directing hundreds of millions to Trump.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

“I can tell you, as somebody who has been a natural resources trustee, who has had to negotiate with copper companies in my own state, that this type of copper mining has never been done without polluting the water. Never, not once,” he said in a floor speech before the vote.
This National Library Workers Day, we celebrate the library workers who fight every day for fair wages, safe workplaces, and the resources our communities deserve. From protecting access to knowledge to standing up for public services, their work is essential and benefits us all.
Digital drawing in white ink against a black background of a sweet donkey in profile facing left. Only their head and neck are visible and their short, upright mane is "dyed" the pink, blue and white of the trans pride flag.
Almost time for #TransArtMay, which is a thing I made up where I draw mostly animals of all kinds with the trans pride flag colors incorporated in some fashion.
What kinds of creatures would you like to see? Insects, fish, birds, mammals, invertebrates etc welcome! I could use ideas, help me out?
Yet again I remind everyone (as Elizabeth does in her very next tweet) that "foreigners are corrupting our pure blood with weakness & disease" is Fascism 101. Not some variant, not some metaphorically similar thing, not some echo -- the thing itself.
If not for Trump, what's the emoluments clause for? What's impeachment for? What's the 25th Amendment for? What's section 3 of the 14th Amendment for? What are checks and balances for?
The baddies are cherrypicking the Constitution the same way they do the bible: for their own benefit.

NEW: A federal judge on Tuesday ruled that key actions Trump took to delay solar and wind projects across the U.S. were illegal (me for @heatmap.news)
Whataboutism is the third biggest red flag in a toxic relationship.
Why is the House not holding Bondi in contempt? Why is Oversight not holding Epstein hearings? Why is Oversight not doing more in this case?
Good Question! (1/3)

listen to this response from John Thune and note how *even MAGA Republicans* are no longer pretending Trump isn't personally directing harassment investigations against his political foes
Warren does at one point single out Epstein, but the full question is nuts: Warsh didn’t disclose $100 million hidden behind entities he owns, so are any of those assets owned by the Trump family or the Chinese government, have any of them facilitated money laundering, any set up by Jeffrey Epstein?
ICE has been using a Navy logistics contract to outfit detention warehouses with minimal oversight. New documents show it may want its own construction contracting vehicle — one that's faster and less transparent.
@em-knepp.bsky.social, @ripest-plum.bsky.social, and @mwriston.bsky.social report.
Maga Inc, the main political fundraising group supporting Donald Trump, has amassed a nearly $350mn war chest, an unprecedented haul for the president’s allies to defend the Republican Party’s control of Congress in November’s midterm elections. It all comes from Trump's tech bro friends.
MAGA Inc, where record unpopularity among voters translates directly into record slush fund cash for campaigning
Simple rule: the Senate should not confirm any appointee to any post who can’t say clearly who legitimately won the 2020 presidential election. Not just who was “installed”, but who won the vote and the electoral college.
Well...this is one hell of a problem.
